What if your son's grandmother calls, wanting your help?  The problem?  The woman doesn't know she's a grandmother.

Rosie DeWitt is a savvy political consultant and devoted single mother.  When Vivian McCloud gives her the career opportunity of a lifetime--to be campaign manager for her son, Hudson--Rosie is torn.  How can she work with Hudson and hide the truth?  That she'd had an affair with his brother--and her son is a McCloud by blood if not in name?

As the campaign heats up, Rosie discovers she's falling for Hudson--but how can their relationship go anywhere when her secret lies between them?

Safe in His Arms by Kay David, Count on a Cop, Harlequin Superromance, ISBN 0373714173

Ninety percent of what every cop hears is a lie.  And Daniel Bishop knows it.  Which is why he's surprised to realize he wants the beautiful Anise Borden to be telling the truth.

Anise's soon-to-be ex was shot as she hugged him goodbye.  And that makes Anise the prime suspect.  If she's guilty, it's Bishop's job to put her away.

But as he starts building his case, another body turns up.  Is Anise a coldhearted killer?  Or a potential victim?  He has to find out before it's too late for Anise...and his heart.

Nick Logan, brother of the hero in Tell Me No Lies, has never been able to trust women.  After his mother kicked him out of the house as a teenager because he couldn't follow her rules, he went on the street, got into drugs, and hit bottom.  He's made something of himself now, twenty years later, counseling troubled teens like the boy he used to be, but he can't get his personal life back on track.  The one and only time he fell in love, with Madelyn Walsh, he broke it off because he couldn't commit.  Now, he's back in his old place of employment, the Crime Victims Resource Center, and Maddie is his boss. Sparks fly between the couple as they work to help their kids and avoid any personal entanglement.  This timely book deals with the teen victims of violent crimes and the larger issue of school violence.

"Actually, we've met before...."

Ten years ago, to be exact.  Then, Julia Sommerville was just an awestruck student in love with a dashing young professor. Now, after she has saved his life, Cameron Birch sees her for the attractive, alluring woman she's become.  A woman who proves she has the courage to make extreme decisions by taking in her sister's eight-year-old daughter.

However, when Julia finds out Cameron is the unwitting father of little Katie, she faces the hardest choice she's ever had to make: tell him and lose the child she has come to love, or lie and lose the man of her dreams for the second time....
